I’m ultra exhausted now, but since today was a rather significant day, I shall briefly record it.

Firstly, it was my first time leading worship during Sunday School. It’s quite different from leading during TF, mainly because I’m facing a much larger congregation of widely differing ages. I had to bear in mind the older folks while choosing songs so they wouldn’t feel too lost. It took me several hours just to plan the 20 minutes, from the power point to my script and rehearsing with Jean (who was also making her debut as pianist). In all, I think it went pretty well. I haven’t received negative feedback yet, though I’d most welcome it so I can improve for next week’s.

Second, I was pleasantly surprised today my grandma (maternal) suddenly introduced me to someone when I reached church this morning. That someone was May – the domestic helper my parents employed when I was a tiny kid. She was in Singapore for a few days. She looked after me for about 2 years, I think. According to mom, she helped out in our church while she was here. For example, she helped the kids section and introduced her church in Myanmar. There were tears running down her cheeks as she met Jean and I and asked us how we were doing. I found it weird that though we hadn’t met for 16 years (most of my short life), we were still able to talk smoothly.

Third, I went to bake brownies with half of my class for the overseas trip fund raising. We spent 6 hours baking laboriously in my classmate’s kitchen. It was like housewives’ training session there. It was quite fun and I managed to get to know most of them better.

What a day to remember.
